The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1326
StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.
Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.
She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.
Olivia put down the documents in her hand. “Ms. Samford, what brings you here?”
With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.
Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. ”
StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people’s affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify to see me.”
Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained silent as she listened to Cecilia’s sharp tone.
The office door was still open, and every word that Cecilia said just now was heard by the editors outside. However, they feigned to be busy with their work and pretended not to hear anything.
Olivia responded, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
Cecilia chuckled, but her eyes were cold. Her smile was clearly insincere. ” It’s okay if you don’t understand, but I want to discuss some company matters with you.
“You took advantage of my hands-off approach to StartReading and used your authority to bring illegal profits to your own company, totaling up to fifty million dollars. This includes the fees for signing multiple film and television copyrights, all of which have gone into your pocket.
“It must feel satisfying to bring profits for your own company from Jardin Corporation.
“Of course, this amount of money is merely the cost of a set of my jewelry.”
Olivia replied, “Ms. Samford, I’ve followed the company’s normal process regarding business cooperation. I recommended companies to our partners, who selected the cooperation copyrights. I didn’t get involved in it.”
Cecilia responded, “Is that so? Jardin Corporation has already investigated it. Recently, two transactions of tens of millions of dollars have been deposited into your bank account. I’ll have the public relations department and legal department investigate the source of this money, which was obtained using resources from Jardin Corporation.
“If you’ve obtained this money through your position, not only will I demand you return it, but I’ll also deal with you using legal means.”
Olivia glared at Cecilia furiously. “Are you targeting me deliberately?”
Cecilia smiled. “Targeting you? Are you even worthy of being targeted by me? I don’t even care about Madelyn, let alone someone like you.
“However, I can give you a chance this time. Resign and return all the illegally obtained money using Jardin Corporation’s resources, and I’ll pretend this never happened.”
Olivia firmly denied it. “I have integrity and have been honest. I haven’t done anything wrong. So, why should I give in? I can leave right now if you’re just trying to force me to resign.
“But, Ms. Samford, you can look at the financial statement for this period. The profits during this time have increased by thirty percent compared to previous profits. I believe you should be able to tell if I’ve done my job well.”
Cecilia had not seen someone as righteous and daring to confront her as Olivia in a long time.
The last person who did this had already closed off opportunities for themselves.
Cecilia responded, “I won’t kick you out. It’s best if you have the guts to continue staying here. I’d like to see how long you can keep up this defiance!
Susan followed Cecilia out of the office. She was puzzled. “Ms. Samford, we clearly have the most favorable evidence. Why do we still want to keep her in the company?”
Cecilia ambiguously smiled as madness filled her eyes. “Don’t you find it interesting? I’m not used to having no one going against me.
“Anyway, how are Blake and Liam doing now?”
Susan responded, “Blake has already returned to the Harper residence. They’ve also canceled their flight abroad.”
